Bike to the Future - Calvert Trust Lake District
Fundraising for The Lake District Calvert Trust
Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
”Bike to the Future” is a sponsored cycle expedition around the globe. The aim is to raise both funds and awareness for good causes through sponsored challenges and fundraising events. The project will also engage with local charity projects I come across on my journey, and stop to work with them where possible. I will document the journey through a blog and video diary, in a hope to inspire action and promote awareness of the causes.
Charity 1:
Calvert Trust Lake District
The Lake District Calvert Trust provides residential outdoor activity courses for people of all ages with physical, sensory, learning, behavioural and/or mental disabilities. Its mission is to challenge disability through outdoor adventure. Pioneering equipment adaptations, and intensive, instructor-led activity programmes (that include climbing, abseiling, canoeing, sailing, horse/trap driving, archery, orienteering and paragliding), provide an environment whose aims are to teach, challenge, motivate, engender confidence in ability, promote independence, and foster integration. All instructors are highly trained and specialist qualified, and the facilities are specially adapted and fully accessible to all. The Lake District Calvert Trust provides a unique and life-changing experience for those with disabilities, who are encouraged to believe that it’s what you CAN do that counts.
